Ballerina False Nails

About Ballerina False Nails

Ballerina Nails have grown in popularity since celebrities such as Kim Kardashian started sporting this longer length nail. Ballerina Nails are so-called due to their resemblance to a ballerina's pointe shoe. This nail is similar to the stiletto shape nail, although the tip is squared off rather than pointed.

When we think about what is trending in reference to manicures, we tend to focus on nail shades, glossy or matte finishes and design. However, when we look more closely, nail shape also changes with the time and reflects the styling we see on the catwalk. For example, when fashion has a moment of femininity, almond or oval nails will rise in popularity. And in the 90s, when fashion for women included cargo pants and heavy boots, the nail shape became stronger with a square tip being the go to mani.

Which shape of nail do you favour?

Many people will find one shape of nail they like and just stick with it. Yet, deciding not to mix things up from time to time, can mean you are missing out. Take lead from the celebrities who will switch from ballerina nails one day and pretty almond shape nails the next. And just as changing your hairstyle can give you a whole new persona, different nail shapes also hold aesthetic power, elongating fingers and making large hands have a more dainty appearance.

With so many easy to apply false nail products available, changing styles can be done in just a few minutes.

Ballerina Nails and Personality

Apparently our go-to nail shape choice is a good indicator for our personality type. Round nails are favoured by people who like classic styling, and these individuals tend to be well grounded and take pleasure in simple things. Stiletto nails are preferred by those with artistic traits who love to be creative and expressive. So what do ballerina nails say about our personalities?

People who choose to routinely wear the ballerina nail are usually considered to be unconventional and with just the right amount of edge. They are straight talking, mean business and are driven in achieving their goals. Does this sound like you?

Longer ballerina nails work best for this style, and you can choose how demure or dramatic you want to be, choosing from simple pastel polka dots or a black and white pattern.

All Black

All black manicures were once something of a niche style. In more recent years, they have gone mainstream. And ballerina nails with a black finish are ridiculously sophisticated. Think carefully about how to style this look, one layer of black gloss lacks imagination. Instead, think about mixing matte, iridescent and glitter finishes which add depth to the look.
